Abstract submission opens on November 1, 2026, for the joint 75th Wildlife Disease Association Annual International and 8th WDA-Latin American Section Conferences. To be held in Mérida, MX, June 6-11, 2027.

The conference theme is “Reconciling the relationship between humanity and nature to promote One Health.”

As human activities increasingly reshape natural systems, understanding how these changes influence the health of wildlife, domestic animals, people, and ecosystems has become increasingly important. In 2027, the conference will emphasize interdisciplinary approaches that advance our understanding of wildlife health and disease within a One Health framework, particularly those that explore the complex relationships among ecological processes, human activities, animal populations, and environmental change. We encourage contributions that advance our understanding of the health of wildlife populations, the ecological and social processes that influence disease, and the connections among wildlife, domestic animals, people, and ecosystems. Submissions may span basic, applied, clinical, ecological, epidemiological, social, and interdisciplinary approaches, provided that the work has a clear and meaningful connection to wildlife health, animal health, ecosystem health, or One Health.
